Abstract (en)
[origin: US2008207988A1] Disclosed herein are a number of embodiments of methods for suspending an organ in a body, and many embodiments of apparatus for suspending an organ in a body. One embodiment provides an apparatus comprising a sleeve having a lumen. A dissecting instrument is slidably located within the lumen. The dissecting instrument includes a channel useful for hydrodissection. An operating instrument is slidably located within the lumen. The operating instrument includes a graft chamber for conveying a graft for fixation between the organ and the body. The operating instrument includes at least one operating channel that accepts a fixation device that fixes the graft between the organ and the body. In one method, an incision is made in the body. An operating instrument bearing a graft is inserted into a sleeve. The sleeve and the operating instrument are inserted through the incision. A fixation device is inserted into the operating instrument. The graft is fixed to the body with the fixation device. The fixation device is removed from the operating instrument. The operating device and the sleeve are removed through the incision. The graft is attached to the organ.
